âWhat a beautiful woman!â Jiang Lingâer couldnât help but exclaim when she saw the woman. âMoreover, she has such a good temperament!â
Gu Yinian said with certainty, âShe probably got plastic surgery,â
Jiang Lingâer was speechless. She couldnât even tell.
Li Yu whispered, âThis is the eldest cousin of the Wen familyâs daughter, Shangguan Yunxi. Sheâs sworn enemies with the Wen familyâs daughter.â
Jiang Lingâer was stunned. How did these cousins become sworn enemies?
She asked in confusion, âWhat happened between them?â
Li Yu replied, âI donât know much either. However, the Shangguan family has always valued boys over girls. Hence, the Shangguan familyâs daughter, who isnât valued in her family, probably hates the Wen familyâs daughter, who has been spoiled since birth. Moreover, she can be crushed in many ways. Unlike her cousin, she doesnât have her own group of doting brothers.â
Jiang Lingâer laughed sarcastically and said, âThatâs really funny. Itâs not Nuannuanâs fault that she isnât valued.â
Gu Yinian said, âShangguan Yunxi wouldnât care so much despite that. In todayâs society, there are many people like this. They just canât stand seeing others do better than them.â
Jiang Lingâer nodded and said, âIndeed, there are a lot. But if it were me, I would settle my own fate. If 1 have time to be jealous of others, 1 might as well make myself rich so that others can be jealous of me instead.â
Gu Yinian said, âWell, Shangguan Yunxi has no worries about food and clothing in the Shangguan family. Although her family favors sons over daughters, they still give her pocket money. If she left the family, she wouldnât have such a good living condition like now.â
Li Yu said mockingly, âShe knows that men are considered more important than women in her family, but she doesnât want to improve herself. Instead, she only knows to humbly beg for charity from rich people. She deserves her current treatment, for sure.â
Jiang Lingâer said with a smile, â1 can only say that everyone has their own aspirations. By the way, 1 still donât know what this dinner is about.â
Li Yu replied, âItâs for the Shangguan familyâs eldest young master. Shangguan Lin has just returned to the country, so Old Master Shangguan intends to introduce some big shots to him.â
Jiang Lingâer asked, â1 see. So, Old Master Shangguan will be coming later?â
Chen Yizhou said, âHeâs already here, isnât he?â
She looked at the door and saw a handsome man and an old man with white hair walking in. Shangguan Yunxi, who had a strong aura just now, stood obediently at the side.
The guests also walked forward enthusiastically.
Jiang Lingâer asked as she looked at Li Yu, âShouldnât you guys go over and say hello?â
Li Yu shook his head, saying, âIf you go over to greet them, you will have to be polite. However, even if you donât go, it wouldnât matter.â
She looked at Chen Yizhou, who also did not seem to have any intention of going over. Then, she turned to Gu Yinian. He was the same.
She smiled. It seems that as a guest, she didnât have to worry about greeting the host.
Not long after, Old Master Shangguan walked over with Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Yunxi.
He said, âCEO Li, CEO Chen, and Young Master Gu, thank you for coming. Let me introduce you to my grandson, Shangguan Lin. He was studying abroad and now he has returned to develop his career. 1 hope everyone can take good care of him.â
Jiang Lingâer was a little shocked. She was standing right there, yet she had been ignored. How much did the Shangguan family look down on women?
Chen Yizhou said politely, âOld Master Shangguan, youâre too polite. Weâre all of the same age. We should naturally help each other.â
Old Master Shangguan was very satisfied with Chen Yizhouâs answer. Then, he glanced at Shangguan Yunxi. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He scolded her, âUseless trash! Canât you see that none of them have any wine cups in their hands?â
Shangguan Yunxi immediately called for a waiter and opened a bottle of champagne. She said, âCEO Li, CEO Chen, and Young Master Gu, let me pour you some wine.â
âNo need. Iâll be driving later,â Li Yu said. It meant that he wasnât planning to drink.
âMiss Shangguan, Young Master Gu and 1 also didnât bring a driver tonight,â Chen Yizhou looked at Gu Yinian. It meant that the two of them didnât want to drink either.
She was stunned and instinctively looked at Old Master Shangguan.
Old Master Shangguan was annoyed. Why was this woman so stupid?
He said with disdain, âYouâre not sensible at all. They canât drink wine, so canât you get something else with no alcohol?â
She said awkwardly, âWait a moment, Iâll go prepare it right away.â
Not long after, she personally brought over three drinks.
âOld Master Shangguan,â Li Yu said directly before she handed him the drink. âCan I have a glass of warm milk for my woman?â
Old Master Shangguan did not dare to provoke Li Yu.. He immediately said, âOf course! Yunxi, didnât you hear what CEO Li said? Go get a glass of warm milk right now!â
